1. Samuel is getting MORE teeth (I think these are the top ones) and oh, my is he noisy and grumpy. A rarity for him. Love this one of him and Jacob from Saturday.
2. I’m ordering Halloween costumes today. I love having a theme! I won’t reveal the specifics, but let’s just say the FORCE will be very strong that night.
3. Headed to the SCOUT shop this morning. Jacob is now officially a Cub Scout. And tonight he has his first pack meeting, with a uniform inspection. So today I’ll be buying a uniform and frantically trying to sew his patches on. A uniform inspection on our first night…just my luck! But I’m so excited about Scouting, and so is Jacob. Today begins a very long tenure of scouting in the Smith home…approx. 16+ years to be exact. I might as well by myself a uniform while I’m at it.
4. I am back in to THIS show. Thank goodness for DVR.
5. Have I told you that my boys are building a go-cart? From scratch. Yep…I didn’t believe it at first either. But it’s true. They got the idea from THIS book…which is a new favorite at our house. I’m now in on it…buying camouflage fabric for the seat, and helping with the painting. Good fun.
6. Jacob is so excited because he finally has enough money to buy THESE. He’s been saving for about 9 months now, and the birthday money gave him a big boost. In fact, he has enough to start saving for THIS now too. And while these are not necessarily things I would purchase for him, it’s been great to see him save and work towards his goals.
7. Oh, and Samuel had his first Cheerio yesterday. In fact, I’ve been trying to give him lots of little table foods lately. And I forgot how MESSY this age can be. I’m reminded why we have one of THESE.
OK…you’re probably tired of all of my links. I’ll close with a sweet conversation with Caleb from our drive to preschool:
"Mom, I don’t want to go to preschool."
Why, buddy?! You love preschool. Think of all of the fun things you do there (I attempt to list every thing he’s done at pre-k in the last 4 days). WHAT’s NOT TO LOVE ABOUT PRESCHOOL??, I ask.
There’s a pause.
"You, Daddy, Jacob and Samuel aren’t there."
Be still my heart.
